Beat the game, hated the last boss fight as it was so terrible and the game froze and i had to restart the fight a lot.

No checkpoints so if you die then you start all over and forced to watch an unskippable cutscene.
Finally i beat the boss then cutscene plays and then it goes to loading screen and fucking freezes so i had to restart the terrible boss fight again but this time i just put it on easy because i had enough.

Insanity is going to suck so much, thanks for improving combat in sequels.

And yeah gonna replay ME2 and 3 since I started from the beginning now.

There is a secondary mission in your journal, use the map to see where you are and the journal updates everytime you complete a task. There are 3 tasks i think.

If you didn't do the secondary mission during Virmire's primary mission then he'll die.

Also Liara will still romance you even though she wanted you to wait, it happens before Illos like ME2's happens before Omega 4 Relay.

So Ilos is the final mission? Only 10 hours in and already to the final mission. Pretty shit compared to me2 and 3.

Ilos isn't the last mission but you can't explore atfer that as it leads to the ending mission.

ME3's Cerberus Base wasn't the last misson but you had to continue the story after the Cerberus Base.

If you are only 10 hours in then you haven't done any side missions because it took me 50 hours to beat ME1 and i finished at level 50.
ME2 took me 40 hours, ME3 took me 38 hours.

The game is a lot shorter if you rush it and you'll miss out on other things, i remember someone on these boards complaining about ME2 being short because he rushed through it and he didn't survive the ending, he actually thought that was the ending.

I've been steadily playing the multiplayer over the last few months and enjoying the challenge system that the last expansion brought along (I've got over 5000 points now I think). I've got my Black Widow up to level VII now too, but I'm still jelly when I see someone with the Cerberus Harrier X

I haven't played MP for months, it was boring me and didn't have the desire to play again but i will play again.

Yeah I was getting the same way, but the challenges brought me back into it. They're all pretty straightforward, but fun to do nonetheless. If you've not played for months too, there's going to be a lot of characters and equipment for you to unlock now

Got the n7 slayer and vorcha hunter last night... still need a lot more characters to have everything unlocked but for anyone who didn't notice, there are two more packs now. At the bottom there's one pack for 99,000 credits to have more of a chance to get weapons and there's one for more of a chance to get characters. It's kinda like the premium spectre pack but instead of the ultra rare chance, it's more of a chance to get weapons/characters.

Tried to fire up on ME3 multiplayer yesterday and then the baby started crying and I remember why I can't play ME3 MP.

Use headphones when the baby's asleep. I did it. Worked like a charm!

Well, she was sleeping upstairs (was listening on the monitor), I just had to stop and tend to her... which isn't conducive if you hit round 8 or 9 and your team really needs all hands on deck and you have to peace out for 5 minutes or so...

Haha yeah as a gamer and a father I understand. My boy hated his crib, never slept in it, cried all the time, so I didn't even bother to put him in it. When I was playing I could just put him on the couch right next to me and he could sleep nicely. And I could play at that time of course.

Ok...so I loaded up my copy of Mass Effect 3 for the first time...and low and behold it's not recognizing my ME2 save file from my old PS3. Before my old PS3 completely died I put the save file on my cloud. This is where I pulled it down from to my new PS3.

Well...needless to say I am pissed. I did some Googling and found this is a VERY common problem on PC, 360, and PS3. Apparently the import system doesnt support cloud saves. WTF Bioware?!?! But to make matters even worse is the default story sounds like it bites compared to a save file where the game was perfectly played (i.e. MY ME2 save was perfect). So now Im wondering a few things...

1. Should I even bother playing it or just play something else in my backlog.
2. Should I try to hunt down another copy of ME2 to see if I can make my save file be recognized by ME2 and then resave it in the hopes that ME3 recognizes it?

All you need to do is boot up ME2 and load the save within ME2, then there shouldn't be a problem exporting it to ME3. My old PS3 died right when ME3 came out and I didn't have a problem pulling my data from the cloud, playing around in ME2 for a bit, then exporting it to ME3.

@fourfour44 - Thanks that was what I thought might be the case...I just didnt want to repurchase ME2 just to have it not work. Guess it's super cheap now so Ill pick up a copy at some point this month. But just to confirm...you did have to play around with your save file from ME2 a bit first for it to work?

How people get those cool avatar pictures in multiplayer mode? I haven't noticed any option for setting it up. Do you unlock them and then they just pop in randomly?

You unlock the banners when you complete specific challenges (score 140,000 points with 8 different sniper rifles gets you the sniper banner, etc), and then you can select them in the challenge menu by pressing square.
